This does not contextualize anything in any way. He is selectively picking data to form a narrative. I dont think you are objective at all so I will stop trying to convince you but lastly think about this:

Why doesnt Nate reply to Neera Tanden, CAP or Nancy Pelosi with “stats” on medicare for all support which is polling at 72%?

If you're implying I'm pro-Biden, for the record, he isn't even in my top three. I don't read Nate because he supports my beliefs, I read him because I think he has a good-faith interest in accurate predictions (even if it is impossible for a human being to be 100% objective)
